Indicate which set of statistical analyses (e.g., ANOVA, independent samples t test, correlated samples t test, correlation, chi-square, regression) should be used to analyze the data collected in study, and explain why that statistical test should be used.

Two researchers hypothesized that students who spend less time reading at home will have lower standardized reading scores. The researchers asked all students in each fifth grade classroom within the local school district to participate in the study. These students kept daily home reading logs over a four month period. Based on this information, the researchers calculated the average number of minutes read daily for each student. The amount of reading time and the corresponding reading test score for each student were analyzed to determine the type of association between these two variables.
